How the beast nearly took over the world
A week ago something crazy nearly happened and it was so crazy it felt like a dream. It all started in San Francisco when we were on a family trip for a few days.
Me and my family were shopping at a mall until we got an alert on our phones about this big storm that's coming so we then ran to our hotel that we are staying in.
We had to stock up on food and drinks just in case anything horrible happens. Once it was night time we went fast asleep until I had this scary, scary dream that we just came on this same holiday and this scary beast monster came out of the sky and got bigger and bigger. Then the beast monster smashed buildings up and made a huge storm.
Once I woke up to that horrible dream I ran to my brother's room to tell him all about it. Our parents then asked us to come down for breakfast and we had eggs on pancakes with maple syrup. We suddenly heard a LOUD bang outside from the lighting and thunder.
It all looked like my dream i had when i was sleeping and we all SCREAMED when this giant monster beast came out of the sky and when it landed on the ground it got bigger and bigger.
We got an alert to evacuate immediately before the beast crushes everything and We sprinted away from the beast. It started raining green from the beast. Me and my brother and I got a cup to collect the green rain for some reason and got far away from it. Once everything was back to normal everyone but people either got on a plane or stayed in their houses and didn’t come out.
UH OH… THE BEAST IS BACK… we ran to our car and speeded off. There is one thing that is extremely scary and weird and it's that this is exactly what happened in my dream and what we did to get rid of the beast was to pour the green rain stuff on him and then he will get burnt from it so bad that he dies so we turned around and went right up to the beast. My brother and myself poured all of the green rain on him and went far away from that monster.
He started falling and he became weak. The big beast got so burnt he died and got sucked up by the sky. After that crazy and scary day we immediately went home and never ever went back there…

So there I was, struggling to go to sleep on christmas eve while all of my family members were fast asleep. I just couldn’t wait any longer. Once I woke up I went to my siblings rooms to wake them up. Before we went to wake up our parents we checked out the presents by the christmas tree and opened up our stockings.
Then when we woke everyone up we all went downstairs to go open our presents. Once we finished opening all of our awesome presents we put them away and had our traditional waffles and omelets for breakfast. Before we did anything else we needed to give our dog food and because it was christmas day we gave our dog delicious food for breakfast.
Later in the afternoon we walked our dog and went to the park to go and play. While we were still on a walk we went down to the beach to feel the river and we took some family christmas photos.
We then arrived at our friend's house for christmas. We played heaps of games and ate dinner there. For dinner we
When we got back home the day was almost over so we went for a night swim and played a whole lot of games in the pool. We watched this super cool christmas movie with this scary monster in it and stayed up ALL NIGHT without going to sleep.

How we can have a Playground by the
Pahurehure estuary?
Dear Auckland council,
In this persuasive writing I'm writing this to persuade the Auckland council to build a playground near the Pahurehure estuary in the future.
Firstly, I think that we should be able to have a playground by the Pahurehure estuary so then kids can have more fun there and get entertained. Another reason why we should have a playground or a fort there is because it will fill up the space where the empty grass is.
Secondly, In the future we should build a playground or a fort for all the kids who go there to get entertained and have fun. It’s a good idea because you have more things to
Thirdly, This will make Pahurehure inlet a much better place with the playground and fort and it would be a good idea in the future because this can be something new that they add to make it a better or more entertaining place to go to.
Lastly, One of the reason why this could make it a better place for the Pahurehure inlet is so that Everyone that goes for walks can not only enjoy going on walks but so kids can have fun playing on the playground or fort that they might add in the future for kids to enjoy.

How we can improve Pahurehure inlet?
Introduction
This is about things we can change or improve about Pahurehure inlet to make it better.
Firstly, we could add rubbish bins instead of people throwing all the rubbish and litter into the water. I think we should also remove all the mangroves growing in the Pahurehure inlet.
Secondly, We can improve Pahurehure inlet by planting more trees, flowers, or plants and have more wildlife/birds there at Pahurehure inlet.
By improving Pahurehure inlet it can become better if we all grow trees and to see more nature. And so that people don’t leave trash sitting in the water.
Thirdly, I think that if there already aren’t any signs up by the pahurehure inlet they should make a sign telling us things that we can and can not do just to remind people when they go there.
Lastly, by improving Pahurehure inlet It can be better than what it was before by planting more nature and trees there and removing mangroves that are growing.And can we give people reminders what people can and can not do there at Pahurehure inlet.

How does our body work?
Our brain
Introduction
Our brain may not seem like the most interesting part of our body But we actually use it all the time when we are thinking of something or remembering something.
Our brain sits in our thick skull with membranes and fluid around it to protect it. Inside of our brain we have something called a cerebrum which is the biggest part of our brain and The surface of the cerebrum is called the cerebral cortex. Different parts of the cerebrum deal with different parts of the body.
Sometimes we tend to forget things in our brain and that’s called memory. There are two different kinds of memory like short term memory and long term memory but scientists are still trying to figure out how memory works. But they know that short term memory means that you remember things for a short amount of time without rehearsing or practicing it.
The brainstem is what connects to the spinal cord. Also many automatic functions are controlled here like keeping the heart beat, breathing, and digesting food.
Although the brain doesn’t move it needs lots of energy so the energy is sent to the brain by the blood. And the brain actually uses about 20 percent of the body's energy.
The brain is put into two halves. Because thenerves cross when they enter the brain, the left side of our brain controls the right half of our brain and the right side of the brain controls the left half. What each half does depends on whether you're right handed or left handed.

The day i woke up with superpowers
Introduction
A few days ago me and my family took a trip to New York for 2 weeks. We stayed in this very expensive hotel and because we were staying there for 2 weeks we had to bring a lot of clothes. We even got to see the Statue of Liberty from a distance.
For Breakfast we had these amazing bagels at this breakfast place and for our drinks we had strawberry and chocolate milkshakes. When we got back to our hotel room we took another drive around New York. Once we finished eating our dinner we went on our ipads for a little bit and slowly went to sleep.
The next morning I woke up feeling dizzy and like I was floating in the air. I looked down and AHHHHHHH… I'm floating. My brother came into the room. After he saw me floating in the air he screamed at me. When we
I had to test out and figure out why I'm floating in the air so I just calmed down. I slowly started shaking and floated in the air and I went higher and higher. Wow, I started flying around all the buildings in New York. I was up in the air and this cape magically appeared on my back and I finally got control of myself in the air. This was the best thing that has ever happened to me.
I pressed this button on my cape and there was fire coming out of my hand without it burning me. After that crazy moment in the air flying I went on my ipad to go check out what this cape is and where it came from. It said that the last person who wore it was called star man and that the cape chooses who to pick to become a superhero and to save the world from these very dangerous people that are super villains. One thing I can never do is to tell my parents that I'm now a superhero that can fly in the air, not even my little brother because he tells everyone everything and he never keeps secrets.

If everyone in the world were vegetarian
Introduction
If everyone in the world were to be vegetarian then the world we live in would be completely different to what it is like now. There would be more animals around and there would be no meat in any stores. In Supermarkets and food shops you would see everything but meat and you wouldn’t see things that vegetarians can’t eat.
One night when I was sleeping I had a dream that everyone in the whole world were to be vegetarians. All the butcher shops were turned into fruit and veges stores and at supermarkets they sold everything but meat and things vegetarians can’t eat.
After I woke up from that crazy dream I went downstairs to go make myself bacon and eggs so I checked in the fridge to see if we had any. We didn’t have any bacon so i checked in the freezer and there was nothing but vegetables and all of our meat in the freezer had disappeared. Because there was nomeat I asked my dad if he could take me to the supermarket so we could go get some bacon for breakfast.
When we arrived at the supermarket we went to where all the meat was but there was nothing there in fact there wasn’t even a label to tell if there was any meat. Because there was nothing there we just had something different for breakfast because there was no bacon at the supermarket.
When i finished eating my cereal i went on my ipad to see what's on youtube i can watch and all these videos on youtube said that all the meat around the world was gone and that we are all going to have to turn into a vegetarian. I was so shocked I sold my whole family and I remembered that I had the exact same dream if everyone in the whole world were to be vegetarians.
A few months later there is now no more meat in the world because it just magically disappeared out of nowhere. When I first found out the whole world was now turning into vegetarians I was sad because w e had no more meat but now it’s alright. For breakfast we have pancakes, For lunch we have salad, and for dinner we have vegetarian free burgers with no meat.

How superheros saved the world
Introduction
Main character:Loki, Iron man, Thor, Hulk, hawkeye, captain america, Black widow. In New York city, Loki and his robot villains are trying to destroy the earth and Loki has gotten out of hand by making these robots come out of the sky. He also made hawkeye evil but at the end you’ll see what happens to him.
When Loki got to New York city, he wanted the whole world to be his, so he thought he could destroy the whole city. He is doing this because Loki is jealous and angry and he thinks he can be a much better king than Thor. He takes revenge against His brother by attacking the world Thor loves.
There were these robots that looked like big long bugs flying out of the sky into New York city. The avengers used their powers and skills to defeat the robots. Loki thought he was more powerful than Thor and The Avengers and that he could use his friends to destroy New York city.
After The Avengers defeated the robots, Loki thought they were not more powerful than them. Then Hulk came in and Threw Loki across the room in the Avengers building while the Avengers were finished defeating the robots. Then hawkeye got hit and came back to normal after black widow came to see if hawkeye was alright.

Should New Zealand Open Its borders?
Introduction
The border is where we can travel outside of New Zealand but if the government decides to close its borders then it might be because something has happened or like now it's because we’re in lockdown and no one can come to New zealand.
I think that we should not open the borders because then other people can come to new zealand without knowing there is covid 19 in new zealand. Another reason why is because people can also bring covid 19 here and that's mainly how people get coronavirus in their countries.
Firstly i think we shouldn’t open the borders simply because covid 19 spreads everywhere and it's really risky if we would open the borders.
But I do think that we should open the borders when everything is clear and there are no more cases in New Zealand.
Secondly i think we shouldn’t open the borders because it would help us get less cases from people traveling to New Zealand instead of the borders being open so everyone from around the world can give us covid 19.
If we would open the borders than people from around the world probably wouldn’t get warnings that we are in lockdown and if we
Lastly i think that we shouldn't open the borders because its very dangerous and if we wanted to open the borders i think we should wait until there are no cases.

Are hakas good for you?
Introduction
I think that hakas are good for us because we can learn new hakas and try something. Another reason why is because we can perform hakas in front of people.
Firstly, I think that hakas are good for us because they can be used to scare off an opponent and because there are more than one haka you can learn from. When people perform hakas there are a lot of different places to perform hakas like at school’s, rugby games, on stage and a lot more places, and when they perform they could be performing more than one haka.
Traditionally hakas were made for the men before they went to war and the word haka means war dance. When people do hakas they make aggressive facial expressions to scare off an opponent.
Secondly, I think that hakas are good for us because they are used as dances or challenges. Hakas sometimes would also be used when other people come to New Zealand so we welcome them to New Zealand with a haka or a dance.
Lastly, I think that hakas are good for us because it can be enjoyable to do the haka or there might be some actions that you like about hakas and dances. When people do haka they have a loud voice, sharp actions, and aggressive facial expressions. When your in school you can also join something called kapa haka and its where you can learn how to do hakas,songs,and dances with a whole group.
